Okay, so I am fairly sure my chickens are going through a bout with coccidiosis and I am starting treatment momentarily with sulmet (the only med available at either of our feed stores). My question is that since my fowl share a common chicken wire fence between their pens and do have some contact should I be worried about treating the ducks in anticipation that they are also infected? If so, then should I treat with Sulmet as well and if so should I use the same dosage instructions? I came across a site that said that the sulfimide meds may be toxic to waterfowl but I am not too certain about the validity of this. I want to treat them but I dont want to make a terrible mistake while trying to save them.
Will be doing a thorough cleaning of both pens and houses and will be using DE more consistantly as well as restricting the use of their pool. Husband has been in charge of pen for the most part and leaves the pool in daily and doesnt get it changed out often. (this will stop immediately).
Anyway, please let my know your opinions.
